This is massive news. Maverick and Iceman are hitting the big screen again. If all falls into place properly, this could be one of the biggest sequels in the past decade!

The news leaked on Val Kilmer’s Facebook page yesterday.

I just got offered ‪#‎topgun2‬ - not often you get to say "yes" without reading the script...

These are examples of what an actor says yes to- like Jerry Bruckheimer and Tom Cruise!!! "Yes." We will all miss Tony Scott one of the kindest gentlemen I've ever met in the film biz, but let's fire up some fighter jets again!!! This is a long way off so calm down. This has been talked about for a long long time and being offered a role is very different from doing a role. I jumped the gun with my post. I jumped the topgun... An innocent mistake. It was just such a wonderful phone call with my agent...

I can't blame Val for getting a bit excited over this and sharing the news. I hope this comes to life soon!
